Any come back sacked before 1 year

[summer30]

My husband got a new job with a company in June 2013

 

His original job offer was in development but when he got there after several weeks of being told (while in training) that was his job he found out that apparently the team leader said he didn't want him in that role due to him not being consulted on the post

 

He still worked there, and his job title changed , he was then before Christmas offered a choice of 3 different job titles but again they said he hadn't proved himself for the role he chose, However he was never given any work to do so.

 

Before Christmas he was told that he might have to go down in wages and have yet another job role.

 

He had his probation after Christmas and passed it

 

yesterday they called him in and said he hadnt proven himself for the original job role

 

Was not fitting in with others and hadnt! passed his probation amongst other things and was sent home

 

( I am pregnant he had a couple of hours off to go for the scan with me, he also had to go to the hospital last week and this week for some tests which they knew about, they also knew he had a back problem when he joined the company, he always made up his hours but it was mentioned his start times were erratic (due to these appointments I presume as he always went in for the time specified otherwise) even though his line manager approved them.)

 

I know hes not been there a year but this just seems despicable to me, they've left us in a real mess, is there anything we can do or have they won? thanks in advance.

Has he appealed the dismissal? That way it gets escalated to a more senior manager and not a silly team leader. You dont have many rights until youve been there for 2 years, but you still have some. Including the right of appeal.

[summer30]

no i think it was the overall managers decision, just the team leader and HR manager told him, he did say while he was there anything he can do, they said no packed his stuff and sent him out. But he is also waiting for the written letter to see what is put on that.

 

(I will mention this has happened to a few people while he was there)

Hes had the letter and it says he can appeal but only gives 5 days

Is he able to appeal again the reasons for dismissal? rather than just trying to get the job back as lets face it he doesn't really want to, but does want to be able to get a new job.

[renegadeimp]

Of course, but unless he has a good case, and wants his job back, what would be the point? You could ask for a reference, but the company can refuse to give him one.

Hi, I'm sorry you are going through this.

 

I am not sure it is a case of anyone "winning." It sounds like he just isn't suited to the organisation?
